Lithe and Lovely with Belonging The wind muscles into midday. tossing the trees awry cleaning the line across the mountain bluing and greening as it goes I listen to the song along the pine tree like a holy tenor with chorus flowing invisible robes down the pass The wind picks up my song and swings it to the sky across clearness of day I see a city outlined against the sun’s decent The tumble weed follows the sweep of the road into a tizzy capturing a feeling thought of long ago From this hill I can see that far island hump back sea creature Catalina domesticus where golden fish play in pristine pools of kelp in a silver sea In the room of afterglow I hover into the chill of night crystal with the meaning of life torrid with the harth’s fire lithe and lovely with belonging |

Smooth and flowing as always, Martie. You don't miss a beat. To the world you might be just one person but to one person you might just be the world. |

Martie - would you like to provide me with an oxygen mask because you leave me quite breathless with your work, my friend!  K |

Your poem carries me away... I especially enjoyed "in pristine pools of kelp in a silver sea" - absolutely beautiful. I can see it! |
